Re^3: Compiling Tk under Windows

vcvars32, like the tutorial explains, comes with the microsoft compiler.
Regardless of what compiler you use, if perl is looking for some .lib, your compiler is also,
and it has to be able to find it, which is generally does by examining the INCLUDE/LIB enviroment variables (which is what vcvars32 sets).
Shouldn't this libs come with mingw, too???
I don't know, but if the perl you compiled with MinGW is looking for them now,
that means that you should already have them, otherwise you could not have compiled perl as you claim to have done.
I tried to copy them to the windows/system32-directory but the problem was still there...
Thats probably because windows/system32 is not in your %LIB%, just like that directory you copied them from.

Ok. I think i got what you meant...
How can I change the INCLUDE/LIB or view it? Where is it?
Sorry for asking so stupid questions...

Someone managed to compile Tk::WinPrint on Windows: see: Cpan Testers.I suggest that you contact the tester ('barbie(at)missbarbell.co.uk') and ask her how she did it and whether perhaps she still has the compiled version. I would be surprised if a mingw environment was specially set-up for this module (but of course you never know until you ask).

Please don't, that's not the reason cpan-testers sign up and test and report on distributions.

You do if you read the report.

Not to disappoint you too much, but .... s/\sher\s/him/g;s/\ss(he)\s/$1/g; :)
The compiler listed is a misnomer, it's the compiler used to compile that version of the perl binary. In this instance I didn't compile Tk, although I have previously using Visual Studio. The version I currently have, 800.024, was installed via PPM, although I can't remember which repository I got it from now. Have a look through the list in PPM::Repositories, or better yet install the list into your copy of PPM and try 'install Tk' :)
I built and tested Tk::WinPrint with Visual Studio 6.0 if that helps. I don't have the binary any more as I was only testingit, not installing it.
